Pages : 94
Book Description
In November 1999, British doorman Chet Sandhu was arrested at gunpoint in Alicante Airport for masterminding the half-a-million dollar largest haul of black market steroids in Spanish history. Overnight he was thrown from the shadowy world of the Costa del Crime's underworld, to being openly vilified as a notorious public enemy in the British and Spanish press. For his crimes, Chet was incarcerated alongside murderers, rapists and terrorists in the top security wing of Europe's most infamous prison - Fontcalent. His story is not about how he was able to survive his ordeal involving knife fights, prison breaks, drug taking and high-stake power plays between prisoners - but how he came to thrive in the deadly concrete world he found himself in. If you want to know how one lone British man was able to dominate Europe's most dangerous prison, then read on. However, if you choose this to go down this road with Chet, be prepared by equal measure to be entertained, informed, and offended by his no-holds barred account of life in one of the world's worst places to be incarcerated.

Gang Wars on the Costa - The True Story of the Bloody Conflict Raging in Paradise
Author: Wensley Clarkson
Publisher: Kings Road Publishing
ISBN: 1843582511
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
For more than a decade, an intense gang war has been raging between British and foreign criminals in Spain's sunny costal regions. The warring factions have left more than a hundred people dead and scores injured, making headlines around the world. These vicious conflicts for control of drugs turf, protection rackets, people smuggling and sex slavery have blighted the reputation of what was once Europe's number one holiday destination and given it a sinister epithet: Costa del Crime. Gang Wars on the Costa reveals the inside story of the crime mobs, their deadly feuds and how this chilling criminal gang culture has evolved at a rate and intensity unlike anything seen before in Europe. With unprecedented access to senior gang members and police officers, Wensley Clarkson traces the roots of these criminals - from Britain, southern Europe, South America and the former Soviet block - and focuses on the emergence of the main gangs, whose rise to power has sparked gun battles and even professional hits.
